I use AI as a thinking tool for brainstorming, structuring, drafting, editing, and translating. It helps me work through ideas faster and write more consistently, especially during periods when energy is limited.

Everything published here is mine: the judgment, the positions, the responsibility. AI doesn't replace any of that. It assists the process.

I'm transparent about this because I think the default of silent AI use is dishonest. If something was shaped significantly by AI, you deserve to know.

- Level0 - No involvement at all
- Level1 - Editorial assistance (like grammar correction, minor rephrasing, tone refinement, translation)
- Level2 - Co-Working (like turning bullet points into paragraphs, expanding a draft into a structured essay, generating alternative arguments that I then refine, drafting tutorial text based on my actual codebase, summarizing material I already read.)
- Level3 - Fully/Primarily AI generated, human assisted

Thanks to [rmendes](https://rmendes.net/ai/) for this idea!
